87sheerips Posted July 10, 2007 Report Posted July 10, 2007 WELL, first off id like to admit that I overtourque things like they all hold the damn bike together. Anyway, im running 2 drags this weekend, and dont want this to fuck me up if in any way possible. I ran it, it hardly drips out of the broken bolt. I was retorquing my jugs, and figured id let coolant flow out of the side bolts as i have never done before. Figures, i go and snap a bolt head when i finally do this. Is there an easy way to get it out and replace it, or should i be safe to run it?? I could seal it up with some RYV or something, but it doesnt seem to leak too bad. Any insight to this???? Quote

Any insight to this???? never pulled one out, but if they are suposed to seal at the head instead of the threads you can buy left hand drill bit & it should unthread b4 it drills through( keeping the metal out) Quote

At least it could be worse right.......! if you have a new one already you can measure the length... use tape on your bit to know when to stop & stop just short of going through & try An e-z out ...if that doesn't work clean the hole good ... don't drain the coolant 1st, as you drill through most of the shavings will come out w/ the coolant... take your cap loose 1st to keep the coolant flowing good & e-z out it from there :thumbsup: Quote
